Obstructive sleep apnea has well-established neurocognitive and cardiovascular sequelae.

Conservative estimates suggest that approximately 13% of men and 6% of women in North America have clinically important obstructive sleep apnea.

Despite the transformative benefits in some patients who receive therapy with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP),
